agencies of government, be responsible
to the people. Without party, there
would have been no Declaration oí In­
dependence, no Federal constitution, no
Emancipation Proclamation, or Four­
teenth Amendment. As long as the peo
pie of Oregon see fit to keep one party
in power let that party fill the offices
and be responsible for the buianess of the
state. If the people are not satisfied, let
them rise in their might and substitute
another party.
Inharmonious mixtures produce fric­
tion, confusion, dishonesty, and fraud
Our state is governed wisely, honestly,
efficiently, economically, and without
scandal. There are always a few dis­
gruntled patriots, most of whom are
disappointed office seekers, but the great
majority ol our people are satisfied with
our present system
The effortsofa few theorists to upset
the whole structure of our government,
to set aside the fundamental principles
of our orgaiitic law, and to foist upon
us new and untired theories, reminds
me of the folio* ing passage from Pope :
“For forms of government let fools
contest ;
Whute’er is best administered is best.”
in the deeds of tbe dead railway chief it
can be truly said that the good over­
shadowed the bad. On the .core of a
rigid morality some ol his exploits can
not be defended. In bis great battle
with Hill aud Morgan which culminat
ed in the big corner of May 9, 1901. his
methods were harsh. The ousting of
Stuyvesant Pish from the presidency of
the Illinois Central was a ruthless piece
of work. In the capture of tbe Alton
road his conduct came close to the bor-
der of brigandage. His name was asso­
ciated, whether rightly or wrongly, in a
rather discreditable way with the irreg
ularities. extravagances and corruption
of one ol the big life insurance companies
four years ago in New York, the dis­
closures of which were brought out by
Gov. Hughes in the investigations liy
the Armstrong Committee
In these,
and in some of his other exploits, bis
conduct deserves the condemnation
which it called out. But on tbe other
side of the account much more is to be
said. Every property which he acquired
was tienefited by the change of owner­
ship. Either iminediatelv or ultimately
nil of them brought greater profits to
their stockholders.
